Tim’s High-Flow Bioswale Mix ™
Composition: Sand | Pulverized Topsoil | Organic Compost
Overview:
The newest addition to our line of custom soil blends, engineered for superior drainage and stormwater management, is our High-Flow Bioswale Mix. The professional’s choice for bioretention basins, rain gardens, and drainage swales. While traditional garden soils are designed to hold moisture, this specialty blend is engineered to move it. By utilizing a sand base (coarse or fine), this mix ensures rapid infiltration and prevents the standing water issues often caused by heavy clay soils. Our Bioswale Mixes are blended to your sand / topsoil / compost ratio specifications.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid Infiltration: The high sand content prevents compaction and allows water to soak into the ground quickly, reducing surface runoff and local flooding.
- Natural Filtration: The organic compost component helps filter pollutants and heavy metals from stormwater while providing immediate nutrients for “thirsty” native plants.
- Structural Integrity: A topsoil base provides the necessary mineral structure to support deep root systems and prevent erosion within the channel.
- Locally Mixed: Like all Tim Wallace Specialty Blends, this mix is blended on-site at our Bolingbrook facility to ensure precise ratios and consistent quality.
Ideal For:
- Rain Gardens and Bioswales
- Low-lying landscape depressions
- Stormwater filtration areas
- Municipal and LEED-certified green infrastructure projects
